Press “Run” to see the result.

The QR Code API turns any text or URL into a QR code image. Call GET /v1/qr?text=... and you get a PNG back (or an SVG with format=svg), ready to use directly in an <img> tag, an e-mail or a print template. With format=json you get the encoded data, the QR version, the module count, the SVG markup and a base64 PNG in one JSON response.

Besides plain text, the type parameter builds the standard payloads that phone cameras understand: wifi (ssid, password, encryption, hidden), vcard (first_name, last_name, org, title, phone, email, website, address), email (to, subject, body), sms (phone, message), tel (phone) and geo (lat, lng). You no longer have to remember the WIFI:T:WPA;S:...;; syntax or escape special characters yourself.

You control the size (64–2000 px, default 300), the quiet-zone margin (0–20 modules, default 4), the foreground and background colours (hex such as 1e90ff or a basic colour name) and the error-correction level ecc (L, M, Q, H; default M). PNG output uses whole pixels per module, so the image can be a few pixels smaller than the requested size to stay perfectly sharp. The encoded data is limited to about 2,900 characters.

Use this in your code

curl "https://apibox.io.vn/v1/qr?text=https://apibox.io.vn&size=300&color=1e3a8a" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -o output

const res = await fetch('https://apibox.io.vn/v1/qr?text=https://apibox.io.vn&size=300&color=1e3a8a', {
  method: 'GET',
  headers: {
    Authorization: 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY',
  },
});
const blob = await res.blob();

import requests

res = requests.get(
    "https://apibox.io.vn/v1/qr?text=https://apibox.io.vn&size=300&color=1e3a8a",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"},
    timeout=30,
)
open("output", "wb").write(res.content)

<?php
$ch = curl_init('https://apibox.io.vn/v1/qr?text=https://apibox.io.vn&size=300&color=1e3a8a');
curl_setopt_array($ch, [
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
    CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => ['Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'],
]);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
file_put_contents('output', $response);

FAQ

Can I use the QR code URL directly in an <img> tag?

Yes. A GET request returns the image itself (image/png or image/svg+xml) with a one-day cache header. Keep in mind that the request must carry your API key, so for public pages it is better to generate the image on your server and store it.

How do I create a WiFi QR code?

Call /v1/qr?type=wifi&ssid=MyCafe&password=secret123. Optional: encryption=WPA|WEP|nopass (default WPA) and hidden=true for a hidden network. The API escapes special characters in the SSID and password for you.

Which error correction level should I choose?

M (15% recovery) is the default and fine for most cases. Use Q or H (25–30%) if the code will be printed small, may get dirty, or if you want to place a logo over its centre; L gives the smallest code for long URLs.
